In 1994 the Yugoslav Wars were reaching one of their tragic peaks, and the people in the affected regions were suffering from displacement and fear. Amidst this destruction, three small sailing boats decorated with peace flags embarked on a peaceful mission along the Croatian coast. On board were 17 children and young people from various countries of the former Yugoslavia and Austria – the country to which they had fled from the war. A few years later, there were already 20 ships, and this peace initiative grew from year to year until, in 2008, founder Christian Winkler's vision of 100 ships for peace finally came true.
